Some lighter fare today for your weekend reading. We talk about pizza aplenty here; maybe it’s rubbing off on others. At the risk of turning this into a pizza blog, there’s been a couple of pizza-related items in the past month.
New Jersey Monthly offered its “25 Perfect Pizzas” from around the Garden State as well as some “celebrity” pizza picks. (NJ Monthly is also conducting its annual Readers’ Choice Restaurant Poll.)
Then there was nj.com‘s Pizza Patrol finally wrapping up its statewide journey to find the best slice. Alas, there were no Rahway pizza joints in either list, although you can probably find some men
tion of a local place among the comments accompanying the story. I did randomly find one comment from the Munchmobile driver in response to a query about Nancy’s Townehouse (“Nancy’s a personal favorite, but we judged the other runners-up slightly better”), however, I didn’t get through all 10 pages (!) of comments to see if any other locals got a mention.
Not that it’s unexpected but it looks like Mr. G’s Coffee is “officially” gone. A “For Lease” sign was spotted in the window of the Carriage City Plaza coffee shop this week, along with the sign that appeared in December about being “closed for inventory.” Thanks to reader Sylvia for the tip!

Anon — I think Mr. G died unexpectedly, and that's why the business closed.
Thanks Matthew, Poor job on my part, I should have mentioned that within the post since much of the Mr. G's talk in recent weeks has been in the comments section of posts, which some readers may not have seen. But yes, I'd guess is that his untimely passing in November had much to do with the closing of Mr. G's. I had mentioned it in the comments section of this December post. Here's a direct link to the information.
Wow, what a shame. I met him at the cafe once. He was so nice to me and went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied. If you could delete my post Mark I would appreciate it, it bothers me that its there now given the sad news. It really was a terrific establishment he opened. Very sad.
BTW – The new cleaners in the Carriage House is also closing -was there today and he said that they are gone in 30 days – So much for new business development in Rahway.
The cleaners too? That's a shame. Very nice guy that owns the place – a pleasure to do business with. Sad to see him go too.
